Okay, I saw the results show and after hearing Camille sing, I hear just what you mean, Rgal, about soul. Diana had good technique and could do a great Motown belt, but compared to Camille she seemed programmed, as if she was singing the notes and not the words, as in what the song actually meant.
ITA that Camille is a somewhat raw and natural talent, but even with her performance tonight, I felt I was hearing somebody who wanted to COMMUNICATE, to share the heart and soul of hte song and herself with the audience. Yes, much like Clay. If she can soak it all up, as you said, she could be amazing.
Matt--was not impressed. Sounded very off key tonight. He just didn't do anything for me, but you never know who will grow.
Only heard blips and clips of the others but OWWW-OOOOOOOOOOO! Wish I could have heard Lisa sing.
I'm glad Seacrest told Simon something like, "Don't you have no one to blame but yourself for the problems in this group?" Of course Simon, ever the consummate pro, just said, "I don't care." ROFL!
My favorite part though was when Seacrest told one of the twins that he got 70,000 votes more than his brother. Man, they're going to have a looooooong flight home.
BTW, re diction--not trying to give you nightmares, Toni, lol--it works in writing too. Huh? Writing is "heard" in the reader's head. Good writers pay close attention to whether they're using a glottal stop or an open vowel to end a sentence, and what kind of word the end of the sentence will connect to. The hearing part of writing is just like Twinnie says--or almost. It's all about consonants and vowels and how they relate, as well as assonance and alliteration. So be ready for diction, Toni. It's everywhere! It's everywhere!
Can't wait to see next week's group. People's comments have been great!
